A Whole Food Plant-Based Approach to Ulcerative Colitis; A Case Series.
Article in American journal of lifestyle medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a relapsing and remitting condition that requires continuous treatment to reduce the risk of relapse. Alongside genetic factors, diet and lifestyle factors are heavily implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease, with diets high in meat and ultra-processed foods and low in fibre-rich plant foods thought to be central to the disease process. There is considerable interest in using dietary interventions to prevent, treat and IBD, with the hope that this can limit and, in some cases, even eliminate the use of pharmaceutical interventions. A whole food plant-based diet (WFPBD) is an attractive option given its emphasis on foods that promote gut health and reduce inflammation and the avoidance of foods that are associated with dysbiosis and inflammation. Here we describe 3 case histories of patients with ulcerative colitis and the successful use of a WFPBD for remission induction and maintenance with over 2 years of follow-up.
